As life expectancies increase, so does the aging population in the United States. Indeed, according to the Pew Research Center, 62 million adults aged 65 or older call the U.S. home.
If you or your older loved one is about to or has reached your golden years, too, you may wonder if it's worth moving to a senior living community in Trinity, Florida. The answer is yes, it is!
In this guide, created by the Discovery Village Trinity team, we'll explore why senior living is a sound choice. So, please read on, as what you discover here can also help you navigate and find the best Trinity, FL, senior homes.
Suppose you or your loved one doesn't have a chronic health condition, is in top shape, and can perform activities of daily living (ADLs) without any problem. However, as much as you want to go out, have fun, and do your physical activities outdoors, you can't because of all the housekeeping chores you must do.
If so, it may be time to search for independent living retirement communities. In these communities, residents no longer have to worry about doing housekeeping on their own. Instead, they can rely on their community's experienced and trustworthy staff for biweekly housekeeping!
So, if you'd like to have more autonomy and freedom to do what you want without the burden of homeownership, independent living may be right for you.
Do you or your loved one need help with at least one ADL? If so, you're not alone; according to the Institute on Aging, 13% of men and 19% of women between 65 and 74 years old say they can't perform at least one ADL. The rates are higher for adults 85 years or older: 40% for men and 53% for women.
The good news is that some Florida retirement living communities provide personalized senior care services. For example, our highly experienced and trained team of support associates and licensed nurses at Discovery Village Trinity specialize in personal care services. Together, they work hard to help residents perform ADLs, such as:
Our support staff is also available 24/7, giving residents peace of mind that they can rely on someone whenever they need help.
While you or your loved one may have to downsize when moving to a senior living community in Trinity, Florida, worry not: the best ones provide spacious, well-appointed apartment homes. For example, Discovery Village Trinity offers suites and one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartment homes.
We've also furnished our apartment homes with the following features for your comfort and convenience:
Housekeeping, laundry service, and apartment upkeep are also on us. Our residents only need to speak with our concierge service to make upkeep requests. However, they can use the 24-hour emergency call system installed in their apartment homes if they need emergency assistance.
According to Psychology Today, regular interactions and socialization with friends and family can help seniors live longer lives and have fewer chronic illnesses.
Fortunately, one of the top benefits of senior living is that it provides residents with many opportunities to interact and socialize. The best communities have a calendar packed with fun, engaging events, classes, and outings.

Our community also schedules regular outings and trips to town so that our residents can shop, dine, or visit local attractions.
